Chef John's Italian Meatballs
These Italian meatballs are very easy to make, and since we skip the messy step of pan-frying the meatballs, it becomes downright simple! Here I use a standard half-beef/half-pork mixture. Once the meatballs are baked, add them to your favorite prepared tomato sauce and simmer for 1 to 2 hours.
Sweet and Peppery Watermelon Salad

True Wisconsin Bloody Mary
This is my Wisconsin version of a classic Bloody Mary drink. On special occasions, garnish with skewered bite-sized pieces of Wisconsin Cheddar, Monterey Jack, pepperoni, salami, green olives, or cocktail shrimp. Best when consumed before noon.
